Title
Opinión de árbitros británicos
Subject
British referees travel home to England during the offseason. Their comments on fandom in Latin America appeared in the British press (and painted a negative light about South American soccer, especially in Brazil).
Description
English referees offered a negative view on Brazilian soccer, complaining about the hard field, vicious attacks from fans, the need for armed security forces, and even an anecdote about a Brazilian referee giving his English counterparts a knife saying: "Take it...you'll need it." On the other hand, the paper highlights how several English referees were largely complimentary towards Argentine soccer. They felt that the public were respectful towards them (minus a few attacks) and that their presence would strengthen Anglo-Argentine relations.
